The Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II E3 2010 Trailer

Yo, Starkiller, you're in a trap!

Imagine if koala bears axed each other on a whim. One koala grabs some eucalyptus for another in a stupid little tree, and boom; dead by koala bear teeth. I bet if this was the case, koalas would build some distrust for their own species. But the Sith? Even though these dudes burn each other every second, they tend to pal around as if a venom-laced koala bite isn't coming. Case in point, apprentice Starkiller and Darth Vader in the new E3 2010Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II trailer. Vader straight betrayed Starkiller in the last game, but hey, here he is, chilling with Vader again. And, as you'll see below, Vader tries to level the kid.

== TEASER ==The footage comes courtesy of GameTrailers and it's all cut-scene, CG-type stuff. There's some dual-wielding lightsaber action, dramatic Stormtrooper kills, and a battle with a force-launching robot that appears as if it could be based on a real fight in the game--a fight that might be QTE-heavy like the boss battles in the original TFU. (I'm hoping for less clunk and sexier button presentations if QTEs return.)

I gotta note, I'm getting the feeling that there'll be more than one clone-Starkiller in TFUII. Link II-style shadow fight confirmation incoming? A man can dream.

Great, a trailer that shows lightsabers cutting fools up but we know that shit wont be in the game. Your be clubbing bitches to death with your light bat. And the way he holds the sabers irritates me so much. I hate this whole force unleashed thing. WHERE THE FUCK IS JEDI KNIGHT 3?

Wasn't as impactful as the TOR cinematic, but still a very nerdgasm inducing video for any Star Wars fan. I just hope they don't completely butcher the PC release this time around, and actually release a playable version.

His voice sounded different. Hopefully thats just cus its still in development, I'd like the same guy to return (he still looks like the same guy, Sam Witwer, you know.. the guy from most notably Dexter but he's actually quickly becoming a really good character actor- I saw him first in The Mist (2007)).

Anyway, this cut scene is confusing as in my game I started the rebel alliance (you know, this is one of those reasons why the game shouldnt have had a morality system if they actually wanted you to play a certain way =P cus im gonna be good if given the chance ) and I dont remember anything about going back to vader.

Story is not looking so hot, but we'll see. Gameplay wise I liked the first game so we'll see how it goes. I dont like that he has 2 sabers now though, thats dumb. I thought it was fine with just one, he was actually already over powered with just that.

It's no pulling a star destroyer out of the sky, but that was pretty cool. I just hope they let you actually feel powerful in this game because Force Unleashed 1 has you struggling against even mook enemies.

Super cool trailer, but I am supposed to believe that Vader was gonna entrust the destruction of his apprentice to 7 or 8 Stormtroopers? That's just plain lazy. If this thing was legit, Vader would have choked him out himself. Lame.

" @ArbitraryWater: Just because they felt like expanding the universe its not real Star Wars? The movie canon doesn't have to be the limit. I never truly understood Star Wars fanboys... "

Maybe it's because most the SW Expanded universe feels like bad fan fiction, which this "Oh, Darth Vader totally had cloning technology which he used to clone his secret apprentice that helped form the Rebel Alliance before valiantly sacrificing himself and that's why he's not in the movies" feels like. The first game already required some suspension of disbelief, but this premise just seems like a lazy way to revive the character and keep the franchise going.

Koalas aren't bears, they're marsupials. If you ever go to Australia and start referring to them as 'Koala bears', people will think you're an idiot. Also, Koalas are so slow and passive that your analogy here makes no sense....and what was the point of bringing up Koalas in an article about a Star Wars game? Weirdo.

" The first game at least felt enough like Star Wars that I wasn't totally repulsed by it. This seems straight up Expanded Universe level of convoluted nonsense. Clones? Really? "

I am guessing you missed Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. "

I am guessing you missed the fact that the prequel trilogy was utter trash, and that it would be wise for major Star Wars projects to avoid the subject of clones for a while. Of course, you already know what score you're going to give the game, so perhaps I'm wasting my metaphorical breath.
